Classic Video: Why I Need a Sling Pack

Wednesdays are Tightline Productions days around here because that’s when we put up the new tying video. For some reason, today I was reminded of Tim Flagler’s hilarious entry in an online contest from a few years ago, so I thought I would share it again. It might give you a new perspective on the man and the voice behind these amazing tying videos.

Back in 2012, a blogger ran a contest in which entrants had to make a short video about why they needed an Orvis Sling Pack. The winner would receive said Sling Pack as a prize. Tim got his entry in late, but it was a doozy. As regular blog readers know, we don’t often feature Orvis products on this blog, but we couldn’t resist posting this.

Note: before writing an angry email, please watch the video all the way to the end. Thank you in advance.

Thanks Mr.Tim Flagler. I have enjoyed your videos now for over 4 years. You sir taught me to tie flys the right way. I’m enjoying tremendous success on my favorite streams and rivers here in Virginia. I’m also now a Saltwater Fanatic because of your Deceiver and Clouser videos. Would certainly like to fish with you one day. But I know that’s probably not possible. Thanks again for being my teacher and instructor.
Regards,
